Inventor: SCHWARTZMAN ARIE Z
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2005-02-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for frequency correction of a signal in a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication system is disclosed. The signal is processed to determine a frequency offset estimate which is a frequency deviation of the signal from a local oscillator. The signal is then shifted by an amount corresponding to a frequency correction estimate where the frequency correction estimate is an averaged value of the frequency offset estimate and at least one prior frequency offset estimate. Finally, the frequency correction estimate is utilized to correct signals in the WLAN communication system.

Title: Auto-retractable pen with ferromagnetic attachment
Inventor: SUNATORI GO SIMON
IPC: B43K23/12
Filed: 2005-03-18
Abstract: An auto-retractable pen comprises a pen and a cap. The pen comprises a hollow case, an ink cartridge, a mechanical spring and a mobile magnetic element. The cap comprises a cap body and a stationary permanent magnet. The pen or the cap comprises a ferromagnetic element. The pen is capable of attaching to the cap by the magnetic attraction force in a single-hand operation when a user places the mobile magnetic element of the pen in proximity to the stationary permanent magnet of the cap. The writing tip of the pen retracts into the hollow case of the pen when an upward magnetic attraction force becomes greater than a downward mechanical expansion force. The ferromagnetic element provides an increase in strength of the magnetic attachment force by concentrating magnetic flux lines. This invention relates to retractable pens, and the principal use of the invention is for operating a pen with a single hand.

Abstract: It is intended to provide an artificial mammalian chromosome which is stably held in mammalian cells and allows efficient expression of a target gene carried thereby. Namely, a first cyclic vector containing a mammalian centromere sequence and a selection marker gene and a second cyclic vector containing a functional sequence are transferred into mammalian host cells. Then transformed cells are selected by using the above-described selection marker gene and cells holding an artificial mammalian chromosome are selecte d from among the transformed cells thus selected. Thus, it is possible to construct an artificial mammalian chromosome which has a mammalian replicati on origin, the mammalian centromere sequence and the functional sequence, is in a cyclic form, can be replicated in mammalian cells, extrachromosomally held i n the host cells and transferred to daughter cells in cell division.

Title: Expansion set packer
Inventor: JIRAL DENNIS G
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2004-05-27
Abstract: A packer element has a biasing member incorporated with it. The element is either fabricated with the biasing element in a relaxed condition and then the element is stretched prior to insertion downhole or the element is created around the stressed biasing member and is held in that position until allowed to relax downhole. In either event the release of the element increases its diameter while shortening its length. Preferably, an advancing swage triggers the release to allow the element to expand as much as it can go or to the maximum relaxed diameter, whichever is larger. The swage then, preferably, drives the relaxed element toward the borehole wall or the casing.
